OSTI ID:5344326

Progress in Phase III of the Engineering Program to design, construct, test and evaluate a pressurized fluidized bed pilot plant is reported. Phase III includes pilot plant fabrication, construction and initial check out. Fabrication of the upper and lower PFB combustor vessels is being followed by a short interval schedule and delivery is projected for July 15, 1981. Fabrication of component parts of the combustor recycle loop is on schedule. The recycle cyclone, freeboard tee, recycle cyclone tee, trickle valve and upper spool piece have all been received for the installation of refractory lining. The bellows assembly is scheduled for completion on July 15, 1981. Material handling equipment purchase orders were placed for the coal handling equipment, electric elevator, coal preparation, and ash handling equipment. Fire protection specifications were issued. The overall project is 43% complete. (LCL)
